Repeat after me: Twitter is NOT Tinder. Say it ten times. Then say it some more. Say it until you believe it, and then tell your friends. Because far too few people understand the differences between these two monolithic digital beasts for my liking. For those wondering what this is all about, let me start... Continue Reading →
Top five fictional couples
Fiction gets it very wrong indeed when it comes to romantic couples. Whether it's Anakin and Padme (why a cultured galactic senator would be attracted to a petulant child is beyond me), any of the throuple from Twilight or Ted and Robin from HIMYM, writers seem to totally and utterly miss the mark when it...

Single life doesn’t suck
I appreciate this piece is a little late to the party and I've therefore missed riding the zeitgeist wave, but Emma Watson's words on being "self-partnered" have been all over the place recently and sparked countless discussions, debates and articles on both sides of opinion.

Too much of a good thing was simply more of that good thing, right?! Then I discovered... Continue Reading →
How to break up with someone
It's the hardest part of any relationship: the end. It takes a lot to decide that a relationship is over, and if both of you haven't come to the same conclusion at the same time then it's going to be tough. Having "The Talk" isn't something that is entered into lightly, at least not if... Continue Reading →
The Kill Email
I don't think I'm going to threaten my anonymity too much when I say that I work in sales in the tech sector.
